Presentation Outline
Generate a structured presentation outline from a Google Doc to quickly transform topic documentation into a presentation-ready format.
How It Works
This skill takes a Google Doc containing information about a topic and transforms it into a presentation outline with the following structure per slide:
- •Slide Title - The main topic or concept
- •Slide Subtitle - Context or focus area (can be optional)
- •Bullet Points - Supporting details (one subject per slide, 3-5 bullets)
The output is limited to a maximum of 10 slides for an optimal presentation length.
Process
- •Provide a Google Doc - Share the URL or ID of a Google Doc containing the topic information
- •Outline Generation - Claude extracts key concepts and organizes them into distinct slides
- •Chat Display - The outline is displayed in the chat window for you to review and edit
- •Refinement - Adjust titles, subtitles, or bullets as needed
Guidelines for Best Results
For detailed best practices on what makes an effective presentation outline, see references/guide.md. Key principles include:
- •One topic per slide - Each slide focuses on a single main concept
- •Concise titles - 3-8 words that clearly identify the slide topic
- •Supporting bullets - 3-5 bullet points per slide that support the main topic
- •Optimal length - 8-10 slides provides balanced pacing for a 20-30 minute presentation
- •Logical flow - Clear progression from opening to conclusion
Output Format
The outline is displayed in markdown format in the chat with clear delineation between slides:
code
# Slide 1: [Title] **Subtitle**: [Subtitle if applicable] - Bullet point 1 - Bullet point 2 - Bullet point 3 # Slide 2: [Title] **Subtitle**: [Subtitle if applicable] - Bullet point 1 - Bullet point 2 - Bullet point 3
Tips
- •Longer, more detailed source documents produce better outlines
- •Ensure your Google Doc clearly separates different topics and concepts
- •Review the generated outline and edit slide titles/bullets for your specific audience
- •If the outline exceeds 10 slides, consider combining related slides or removing less critical content
